Bewitching expansion So… Elden Ring is over six months old now and we still haven’t heard a word about DLC. Not even a denial that it’s coming or any explanation of why they haven’t talked about it yet. It’s usually possible to make an educated guess as to why publishers do something, even if you don’t agree with it, but in this case I really can’t work it out at all.

I can only assume that the game’s unexpected success changed the plans but if it did then what were they going to do before, that needed to be changed? From don’t strike me as the sort of developer to suddenly pivot to doing a crash gab, so even that theory has issues.

As many have pointed out, there’s a lot of empty space on the map and since the world is made up of separate chunks of floating islands it’d be easy to drop some more in (I assume, knowing nothing of how games are made).

But what will be the theme? There’d be some big backstory behind it, so what makes most sense? Personally, I’d like to see it focus on Ranni and what happens after her quest ends. For me she was the most interesting of the characters, as it’s never entirely clear how good or evil she is or whether she has other people’s interests in mind with her plans.

I like to think she has, and I’d like to see this expanded on, and perhaps see some conflict between her and the Outer Gods. If you saw her ending in the game, it’s since turned out that there were some translation errors and she may have been more altruistic than anyone realised. An expansion of that would
